Summer is coming, and we couldn’t be more ready! Though Singapore doesn’t really experience seasons so much as two modes of weather (rainy or scorching), summer still means new makeup launches, new clothes and new excuses to experiment and change up our looks for fun! I’m a huge fan of coconut everything (it’s just so versatile! And delicious!), so when the team got the chance to try out the new, highly-anticipated Marc Jacobs Coconut Fantasy Collection, I volunteered so fast I probably left track marks on the ground.

We all know and love Marc Jacobs Beauty as a brand that loves to push the boundaries of creativity and celebrate the beauty of the “perfectly imperfect” individual. Inspired by the playful spirit of transformation, the brand encourages every user to be the creators of whoever they want to be. This new collection adds three new limited-edition, radiance-enhancing products and one re-release to Marc Jacob’s much beloved Coconut Collection to help you get your sensual glow on just in time for summer.

First up is the O!Mega Bronze Coconut Perfect Tan in Tan-Tastic!. This universal bronzer was originally released last year and brought back by overwhelming demand in this new limited-edition shade. The micro-fine, jet-milled powder formula blends effortlessly for a seamless, radiant-matte finish that flatters all skin tones. You’ll look and smell like you just came back from a beach vacation with the perfect glowy summer tan.

Next is a little something to help you glow like you’ve always dreamed! The Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter in Fantasy contains the same best-selling Dew Drops formula you know and love, but in a new rose gold shade that makes you shine like you’re lit-from-within. A little goes a long way, so mix it with your foundation for a subtly luminous finish or use it to highlight your skin directly and blind your haters! These Dew Drops even contain 5 forms of coconut and Pro-Vitamin B5 that help hydrate and nourish skin so you can care for your skin every time you wear it!

Do you love warm-toned makeup? Me too, and the next product has got me hyped. The Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette in Fantascene uses MJ Beauty’s latest ultra-luxe, ultra-pigmented formulation to deliver eyeshadows that pop and last on the eyes. The palette features beautiful colours in multiple finishes that blend well together so you can mix and match to create an infinite variety of looks!

Last, but certainly not least is the Finish Line Perfecting Coconut Setting Powder in Invisible. Featuring 5 forms of coconut and cocoa butter, this creamy yet super lightweight translucent loose powder melts in undetectably to set your makeup for a soft-matte finish that perfects and blurs your skin like the ultimate vacation filter! It also has an interior mesh to ensure a mess-free application while dispensing an ideal amount of product with each use.

Overall, I’m so stoked about this new collection, from the subtle yet delicious coconut scent to the incredible sleek white and rose gold packaging. Available now in Sephora stores and online in at Sephora.sg, this collection sold out in Sephora USA within two days of launch, so be sure to get your hands on them before they’re gone with the island breeze!

Hey I'm Daphnie! I suffer from a chronic case of RBF, but I'm actually an easily distracted nerd who once Wiki-surfed my way from researching about the Russian royal family to woolly mammoths and ended up at obscure Aztec gods. Yeah, I'm not sure how that happened either. I regularly visit art stores to cry about expensive art supplies ($13 for a 5ml tube whyyyyy) without buying anything. I write stuff for DC Creative sometimes.
